About
My name is Jontai Nicole Jones (Maiden: Kimbrough). I am 36 and originally from Staten Island, NY. I have been living in Atlanta since my first attempt at college in 2007. I attended Clark Atlanta University for approximately 3 years, majoring in Business Administration, before I had to stop due to financial hardship. 14 years later, I made my way back to college last year in 2024. As of August of 2025, I have earned an Associate’s in Applied Science degree in Beauty and Wellness at Mesa Community College. Moving forward, I will attend Northern Arizona University for a Bachelor’s degree in Strategic Leadership.
